To the Shareholders and, for information only, the noteholders of the Company

Dear Sir/Madam,

MAJOR AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION – BUILDING CONTRACT AND

NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

1. INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the Announcement. Pursuant to the requirements of the Listing Rules, the Company is required to seek the Independent Shareholders’ Approval in relation to the Building Contract, which constitutes a major transaction and a nonexempt connected transaction of the Company under Chapters 14 and 14A of the Listing Rules respectively.

— 4 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with (i) further information on the Building Contract; (ii) the recommendations of the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Building Contract; (iii) the letter of advice from the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Building Contract; (iv) other information as required by the Listing Rules; and (v) the notice of the EGM.

2. THE BUILDING CONTRACT

On 3 November 2020, Easy Vision, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Building Contract with the Main Contractor, pursuant to which the Main Contractor has agreed to carry out, take full responsibility for the care of, and complete the Works for the Project (involving the construction of a high-tier data centre comprising two towers on the Land at Wan Po Road, Area 85, Tseung Kwan O, New Territories, Hong Kong) at a Contract Sum of HK$3,605,000,000, subject to adjustments. Principal terms of the Building Contract are summarised below:

Date : 3 November 2020

Parties : Easy Vision; and Sanfield Engineering Construction Limited (as the Main Contractor)

Subject Matter : The Main Contractor has agreed to carry out, take full responsibility for the care of, and complete the Works for the Project on the terms of the Building Contract.

The Works comprises construction of a high-tier data centre consisting of two towers with a maximum gross floor area of approximately 1.2 million square feet and certain fitting out works and all external works including coordination of various nominated sub-contracted works that are tendered out separately. The Works will be carried out in two phases, namely (i) the Phase 1 Works, being the construction of 10 storeys and one-level of basement of Tower A and a two-level basement of Tower B on the Land; and (ii) the Phase 2 Works, being the construction of 10 storeys of Tower B (which includes superstructure construction of Tower B only) on the Land.

— 5 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Contract Sum : HK$3,605,000,000 (which comprises the contract sum for the Phase 1 Works of HK$2,030,000,000 and the contract sum for the Phase 2 Works of HK$1,575,000,000), subject to adjustments in accordance with the terms of the Building Contract in relation to any changes or additions to the scope of the Works such as variations to the design, quality or quantity of the Works, alteration of the kind or standard of materials or goods to be used for the Works, rectifications of the Works or any additional costs and expenses in relation to the foregoing. Such adjustments will be made based on instructions provided by the independent architect after it has obtained Easy Vision’s agreement to the same, and the amount involved will be ascertained by the independent quantity surveyor.

Subject to fulfillment of the condition precedent of the Building Contract, the Phase 1 Works are tentatively expected to commence in around March 2021, while the Phase 2 Works will commence at a later date which shall be determined by Easy Vision. Easy Vision may terminate the engagement of the Main Contractor for the Phase 2 Works on or before 31 January 2024, upon which the Contract Sum shall accordingly be reduced by HK$1,575,000,000.

As advised by the independent quantity surveyor, it is the usual practice that approximately 5% to 10% of the contract sum is applied as contingency for the construction projects of the private sector. The independent quantity surveyor has further advised that it is reasonable to adopt a contingency of 10% of the Contract Sum in this case. As such, it is estimated that the final Contract Sum will not exceed 110% of the original Contract Sum (i.e. not exceeding approximately HK$3,965,500,000).

— 6 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Easy Vision may extend the defects liability period for the Works from 12 months to 24 months by payment to the Main Contractor of an amount of HK$3,500,000 for the Phase 1 Works and HK$2,600,000 for the Phase 2 Works (the “ Defects Liability Period Extension Price ”).

It is therefore estimated that the aggregate consideration payable under the Building Contract will not exceed HK$3,971,600,000, being the sum of (i) the Contract Sum of HK$3,605,000,000 plus 10% contingency; and (ii) the aggregate Defects Liability Period Extension Price of HK$6,100,000.

The Contract Sum and the Defects Liability Period Extension Price were determined after arm’s length negotiations with the Main Contractor and are on normal commercial terms.

The Contract Sum (subject to adjustments) and the Defects Liability Period Extension Price will be paid in cash and funded by the Group’s internal resources and/or bank financing.

— 7 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Payment Terms : Easy Vision will make progress payments to the Main Contractor based on estimated value of the Works properly executed and of the materials and goods delivered for use in the Works in accordance with the architect certificates with the relevant amounts stated (subject to the right on the part of Easy Vision to retain a certain sum therefrom which will not in general exceed 10% of each progress payment and the maximum aggregate amount of such retention shall not in general exceed 5% of the contract sum for the Phase 1 Works and of the contract sum for the Phase 2 Works respectively) to be issued monthly by the independent architect for the Project during the course of the Project. Upon the Main Contractor’s presentation of the architect certificates to Easy Vision, Easy Vision will verify and settle the relevant amounts within 45 days thereafter. One moiety of the total amounts retained as aforementioned shall be paid to the Main Contractor within 45 days after the Main Contractor’s presentation to Easy Vision of the substantial completion certificate issued by the architect, while the remaining retention amount shall be paid to the Main Contractor within 45 days after the expiration of the defects liability period, or the issue of the defects rectification certificate, or the approval has been given by the architect for all specified guarantees and warranties required to be submitted by the Main Contractor or the nominated sub-contractors or suppliers, whichever is the later.

Condition Precedent : The Building Contract and the transactions contemplated thereunder being approved by the Independent Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company.

— 8 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Expected date of : Subject to fulfillment of the condition precedent of commencement and the Building Contract, (i) the Phase 1 Works are completion of the tentatively expected to commence in around March Works 2021 and to be completed within 838 days from and including the commencement date; and (ii) the Phase 2 Works will commence on a date to be determined by Easy Vision, which is tentatively expected to be in around June 2024, and are expected to be completed within 792 days from and including the commencement date.

Tender process for the Project

The Main Contractor was selected by Easy Vision through a tender process, with reference to the expertise, experience and market position of the Main Contractor, and the complexity, design, quality and quantity of the Works. For the selection of the main contractor for the Project through the tender process, the Company had set up a project consultant team comprising the project manager and other professional experts (i.e. an independent architect, an independent quantity surveyor, an independent structural engineer and an independent building services engineer) to assist the Company in the process. These professional experts were chosen based on their work experience and their reputation.

In selecting candidates to be invited to submit tender for the role of main contractor of the Project, the management of the Group, based on their industrial and market knowledge, took into consideration main contractors involved in sizeable data centre projects in Hong Kong, as well as main contractors involved in data centre projects with similar size in the region with presence in Hong Kong. In addition, factors like reputation, job reference and size of respective contractors were also taken into account. Based on such criteria, four potential candidates were selected for the role of main contractor of the Project, among which two candidates, comprising the Main Contractor and another company principally engaged in the provision of construction services in Hong Kong , accepted the invitation to tender and submitted their service proposals to the Company.

The project consultant team assessed the service proposals submitted by the two candidates from the perspectives of technical assessment and cost evaluation. The Main Contractor was recommended to be awarded the tender by Easy Vision for the Project, as the service proposal of the Main Contractor is preferrable to that of the other candidate from both of the aforesaid perspectives.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

3. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE BUILDING CONTRACT

Enhancing and expanding high-tier data centre capacity

The Group is principally engaged in the provision of data centre, facilities management and value-added services, and installation and maintenance services. The Group’s core data centre business is capital intensive requiring significant continued investment to ensure the facilities remain state-of-the-art. The Group aims to build a portfolio of data centres equipped with superior infrastructure and facilities at different locations, connected by high-speed dark fibres to form a campus to meet customers’ needs for high-quality data centre facilities. The Project, which involves the construction of a new purpose-built high-tier data centre on the Land owned by the Group in Tseung Kwan O with high power capacity and outstanding architecture resilience, will enhance and expand the Group’s high-tier data centre capacity in strategic sites by approximately 1.2 million square feet of gross floor area. Upon completion, this new data centre can increase the Group’s supply of data centre capacity in the medium to long term, ensure the Group’s existing customers have room for fast expansion as they grow and allow the Group to further expand its customer base. In addition, as the Land is located next to the Group’s current data centre MEGA Plus on Tseung Kwan O Town Lot No. 122, the Project will also enable the Group to achieve substantial synergies in operations and infrastructure investment.

Leveraging on expertise

The Project, which is a substantial investment of the Group, requires technical expertise in the areas of construction, electrical and mechanical engineering, as well as advent of technology and innovation in data centre facilities. The Group has engaged various experienced professionals with relevant expertise for the Project. The Main Contractor was selected as the successful tenderer for the Works of the Project, which is one of the major fundamental construction steps for the Project.

The principal activities of the SHKP Group are the development of and investment in properties for sale and rent, hotel operations, telecommunications, transport infrastructure and logistics. The SHKP Group has substantial experience, competent expertise and a proven track record in property development and construction. The principal activity of the Main Contractor is building construction and the Main Contractor also has substantial experience, competent expertise and a proven track record in building construction. It is therefore in the interest of the Group to leverage on the expertise of the SHKP Group and the Main Contractor, and to appoint the

— 10 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Main Contractor to carry out, take full responsibility for the care of, and complete the Works for the Project. The engagement of the Main Contractor will generally enhance the co-ordination and cost effectiveness of the construction process and management of the Project. In addition, the past experience of the Group in working successfully with the Main Contractor on other constructions as well as addition and alteration works also makes the Main Contractor the most suitable contractor for undertaking the construction of the Project.

The Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors whose views are set out in the “ Letter from the Independent Board Committee ” set out on pages 15 to 16 of this circular) consider that the Building Contract is on normal commercial terms and that its terms are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

4. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, SHKP is a substantial Shareholder indirectly holding an aggregate of 1,719,427,500 Shares, representing approximately 73.65% of the entire issued share capital of the Company. As such, SHKP and its associates are connected persons of the Company under the Listing Rules for so long as SHKP remains a substantial Shareholder.

The Main Contractor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SHKP and is therefore an associate of SHKP and a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the entering into of the Building Contract with the Main Contractor constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As one of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Building Contract calculated pursuant to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules exceeds 25% but all are less than 100%, the entering into of the Building Contract constitutes (i) a major transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules; and (ii) a non-exempt connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, and is subject to the reporting, announcement and the Independent Shareholders’ Approval requirements pursuant to Chapters 14 and 14A of the Listing Rules respectively.

Given that Messrs. Kwok Ping-luen, Raymond, Fung Yuk-lun, Allen, Tung Chi-ho, Eric and Kwok Kai-wang, Christopher are directors of both the Company and SHKP, they are regarded as materially interested in the Building Contract and they have therefore abstained from voting on the Board resolutions approving the Building Contract. As

— 11 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Mr. Cheung Wing-yui is a consultant of the firm of solicitors which provides professional services to the Company in relation to the Building Contract, he has also abstained from voting on the Board resolutions approving the Building Contract to avoid potential conflicts of interests. Likewise, as Messrs. David Norman Prince, Siu Hon-wah, Thomas and Chan Hong-ki, Robert hold certain posts in the SHKP Group, they have also abstained from voting on the Board resolutions approving the Building Contract to avoid potential conflicts of interests.

5. INDEPENDENT SHAREHOLDERS’ APPROVAL IN RESPECT OF THE BUILDING CONTRACT

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the EGM to approve (by way of poll) the Building Contract. Pursuant to Rule 14A.70(12) of the Listing Rules, any Shareholder with a material interest in the Building Contract is required to abstain from voting on the ordinary resolution for approving the same. As such, SHKP and its associates are required to abstain from voting on the ordinary resolution for approving the Building Contract at the EGM.

As far as the Company was aware, having made all reasonable enquiries, as at the Latest Practicable Date:

  • (a) SHKP (through its associates) controlled or were entitled to exercise control over the voting right in respect of their respective Shares;

  • (b) (i) there were no voting trusts or other agreements or arrangements or understanding (other than an outright sale) entered into by or binding upon any of SHKP or its associates;

  • (ii) there were no obligations or entitlements of SHKP or its associates,

whereby it/they had or might have temporarily or permanently passed control over the exercise of the voting rights in respect of its/their Shares to a third party, either generally or on a case-by-case basis; and

  • (c) there is no discrepancy between the beneficial shareholding interest of SHKP or its associates in the Company as disclosed in this circular and the number of Shares in respect of which it/they will control or will be entitled to exercise control over the voting rights at the EGM where an ordinary resolution will be proposed to approve the Building Contract.

— 12 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

An Independent Board Committee has been appointed to advise the Independent Shareholders on whether or not the terms of the Building Contract are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Independent Financial Adviser, Somerley, has been appointed to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the terms of the Building Contract.

6. GENERAL

The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The Group’s principal business activities include the provision of data centre, facilities management and value-added services, and installation and maintenance services.

The principal activity of the Main Contractor is building construction.

The principal activities of the SHKP Group are the development of and investment in properties for sale and rent, hotel operations, telecommunications, transport infrastructure and logistics.

7. EGM

The EGM will be convened by the Company at 4th Floor and 53rd Floor, Sun Hung Kai Centre, 30 Harbour Road, Hong Kong on Tuesday, 22 December 2020 at 12:00 noon for the purposes of considering and, if thought fit, approving the Building Contract, and the notice of the EGM is set out in this circular. As at the Latest Practicable Date, SHKP (through its associates) is interested in approximately 73.65% of the entire issued share capital of the Company. As such, the associates of SHKP which hold shares in the Company are required to abstain from voting on the resolution at the EGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

8. RECOMMENDATION

Therefore, the Directors recommend that the Independent Shareholders should vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Building Contract.

Accordingly, the entering into of the Building Contract with the Main Contractor constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. As one of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Building Contract calculated pursuant to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules exceeds 25% but all are less than 100%, the entering into of the Building Contract constitutes (i) a major transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and (ii) a non-exempt connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, and is subject to the reporting, announcement and the Independent Shareholders’ Approval requirements pursuant to Chapters 14 and 14A of the Listing Rules respectively.

The Independent Board Committee, comprising all the independent non-executive Directors, namely Professor Li On-kwok, Victor, Professor King Yeo-chi, Ambrose, Mr. Wong Kai-man, Mr. Kwok Kwok-chuen, Mr. Lee Wai-kwong, Sunny and Ms. Cheng Ka-lai, Lily, has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Building Contract and on how they should vote at the EGM. We, Somerley Capital Limited, have been appointed as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in the same regard.

We are not associated with the Company, Easy Vision, the Main Contractor and SHKP or their respective core connected persons, close associates or associates (all as defined in the Listing Rules) and accordingly are considered eligible to give independent advice on the above matter. Apart from normal professional fees payable to us in connection with this and similar appointments, no arrangement exists whereby we will receive any fees or benefits from the Company, Easy Vision, the Main Contractor and SHKP or their respective core connected persons, close associates or associates.

During the past two years, we have acted as the independent financial adviser to the Company in relation to (i) the acquisition of a property holding company from and the disposals of two indirect wholly-owned property holding subsidiaries of the Company to, the SHKP Group (as disclosed in the circular of the Company dated 11 October 2019); and (ii) the discloseable and connected transaction relating to a building contract and various continuing connected transactions (as disclosed in the circular of the Company dated 26

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

May 2020). The past engagements were limited to providing independent advisory services to the Company pursuant to the Listing Rules, for which we received normal professional fee relevant to this type of engagement. Accordingly, we do not consider the past engagements would affect our independence to act as the independent financial adviser to the Company under the current engagement.

In formulating our opinion, we have reviewed, among other things, the Building Contract, the annual reports of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2019 and the year ended 30 June 2020 (the “ 2020 Annual Report ”) and the information as set out in the Circular. We have discussed the business and future prospects of the Group as they may be affected by the transactions contemplated under the Building Contract with the management of the Group.

We have relied on the information and facts supplied, and the opinions expressed, by the Directors and management of the Group (the “ Management ”) and have assumed that they are true, accurate and complete. We have also sought and received confirmation from the Directors that no material facts have been omitted from the information supplied and opinions expressed to us. We have no reason to believe that any material information has been withheld from us, or to doubt the truth or accuracy of the information provided.

We have relied on such information and consider that the information we have received is sufficient for us to reach an informed view. We have not, however, conducted any independent investigation into the business and affairs of the Group, nor have we carried out any independent verification of the information supplied.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion and recommendation, we have taken into account the principal factors and reasons set out below.

1. Information of the Group

(a) Business activities of the Group

The Group’s principal business activities include the provision of data centre, facilities management and value-added services, and installation and maintenance services. The Group derives revenue from two segments, namely (i) provision of data centre, facilities management and value-added services (the “ Data Centre and IT Facilities Segment ”); and (ii) installation and

— 19 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

maintenance services for the ELV and IT systems (the “ ELV and IT Systems Segment ”). The Company was listed on the Growth Enterprise Market of the Stock Exchange in 2000. In January 2018, the Group completed the transfer of listing of the Shares to the Main Board of the Stock Exchange.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group operated 5 data centres in Hong Kong, namely, MEGA-i in Chai Wan, MEGA Plus in Tseung Kwan O, MEGA Two in Shatin, JUMBO in Tsuen Wan and ONE in Kwun Tong. MEGA Plus commenced operations as the Group’s flagship data centre in October 2017. In the same year, the Group established dark fibre connection to form “MEGA Campus”, connecting MEGA-i, MEGA Two and MEGA Plus. In January 2018, the Group won the tender for the Tsuen Wan land parcel for the development of a high grade facility, construction of which is currently in progress and is expected to be completed by phases starting in 2022. In December 2018, the Group acquired the land parcel ‘Tseung Kwan O Town Lot No.131’ designated for a high-tier data centre (i.e. the Project) adjacent to MEGA Plus in Tseung Kwan O from the Hong Kong Government.

(b) Segment revenue and results of the Group

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Note: The revenue and segment results of the property holding segment for the year ended 30 June 2020 are excluded from the table above as the investment properties under the property holding segment were disposed of in November 2019 and the relevant results were classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of profit and loss of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2020.

For the year ended 30 June 2019, the Group recorded revenue of approximately HK$1,625.1 million, representing a growth of approximately 19.1% from that for the year ended 30 June 2018. The increase in revenue was largely attributable to the Group’s Data Centre and IT Facilities Segment, which managed to secure new contracts and renew existing ones with positive rental reversion. Revenue from continuing operations of the Group, being the Data Centre and IT Facilities Segment and ELV and IT Systems Segment businesses, continued to increase by approximately 9.8% from approximately HK$1,560.8 million for the financial year ended 30 June 2019 to approximately HK$1,713.8 million for the financial year ended 30 June 2020, which was driven mainly by growth in business with existing customers and signing up new customers for the core data centre business.

(c) Outlook of the Group

From the table above, revenue from the Group’s Data Centre and IT Facilities Segment has been growing and it remained the major income contributor and the core business segment of the Group. As set out in the 2020 Annual Report, the Group’s core data centre business remains resilient amid macro and local uncertainties. The Company anticipated that the demand for data would continue to increase. Accordingly, the Group continued its expansion plan and development of the Project, which is located next to the Group’s current data centre MEGA Plus on Tseung Kwan O Town Lot No. 122 and therefore will enable the Group to achieve substantial synergies in operations and infrastructure investment. Upon completion, the Project is expected to enhance and expand the Group’s high-tier data centre capacity in strategic sites and this new data centre will become the highest power density data centre in Hong Kong. With the above development, the Group will be able to secure additional supply of data centre capacity in the medium term to cater for the increasing data demand in Hong Kong.

2. Background of, reasons for and benefits of the Building Contract

(a) Enhancing and expanding high-tier data centre capacity

The Group aims to build a portfolio of data centres equipped with superior infrastructure and facilities at different locations, connected by high-speed dark fibres to form a campus to meet customers’ needs for high-quality data centre facilities. The Project, which involves the construction of a new purpose-built high-tier data centre on the Land owned by the Group in Tseung Kwan O with high power capacity and outstanding architecture resilience, will enhance and expand the Group’s high-tier data centre capacity in strategic sites by approximately 1.2 million square feet of gross floor area. Upon completion, this new data centre can increase the Group’s supply of data centre capacity in the medium to long term, ensure the Group’s existing customers have room for fast expansion as they grow and allow the Group to further expand its customer base. In addition, as the Land is located next to the Group’s current data centre MEGA Plus on Tseung Kwan O Town Lot No. 122, the Project will also enable the Group to achieve substantial synergies in operations and infrastructure investment.

(b) Leveraging on expertise

The Project, which is a substantial investment of the Group, requires technical expertise in the areas of construction, electrical and mechanical engineering, as well as advent of technology and innovation in data centre facilities. The Group has engaged various experienced professionals with relevant expertise for the Project. The Main Contractor was selected as the successful tenderer for the Works of the Project, which is one of the major fundamental construction steps for the Project. There is a need for the Group to recruit a main contractor to oversee the Project to ensure proper coordination and implementation of the Project as the Group does not have such expertise in these areas.

The principal activities of the SHKP Group are the development of and investment in properties for sale and rent, hotel operations, telecommunications, transport infrastructure and logistics. The SHKP Group has substantial experience, competent expertise and a proven track record in property development and construction. The principal activity of the Main Contractor is building construction and the Main Contractor also has substantial experience, competent expertise and a proven track record in building construction. It is therefore in the interest of the Group to leverage

— 22 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

on the expertise of the SHKP Group and the Main Contractor, and to appoint the Main Contractor to carry out, take full responsibility for the care of, and complete the Works for the Project. The engagement of the Main Contractor will generally enhance the co-ordination and cost effectiveness of the construction process and management of the Project. In addition, the past experience of the Group in working successfully with the Main Contractor on other constructions as well as addition and alteration works also makes the Main Contractor the most suitable contractor for undertaking the construction of the Project.

The Main Contractor was selected by Easy Vision through a tender process, with reference to the expertise, experience and market position of the Main Contractor, and the complexity, design, quality and quantity of the Works. Details of the assessment of the terms of the Building Contract, including the tendering process, are set out in section headed “4. Assessment of the terms of the Building Contract” in this letter.

3. Principal terms of the Building Contract

On 3 November 2020, Easy Vision entered into the Building Contract with the Main Contractor, pursuant to which the Main Contractor has agreed to carry out, take full responsibility for the care of, and complete the Works for the Project (involving the construction of a high-tier data centre comprising two towers on the Land at Wan Po Road, Area 85, Tseung Kwan O, New Territories, Hong Kong) at a Contract Sum of HK$3,605,000,000, subject to adjustments. Set out below are the principal terms of the Building Contract:

Date 3 November 2020

Parties

Easy Vision; and

Sanfield Engineering Construction Limited (as the Main Contractor)

Subject matter The Main Contractor has agreed to carry out, take full responsibility for the care of, and complete the Works for the Project on the terms of the Building Contract.

— 23 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Works comprises construction of a high-tier data centre consisting of two towers with a maximum gross floor area of approximately 1.2 million square feet and certain fitting out works and all external works including coordination of various nominated sub-contracted works that are tendered out separately. The Works will be carried out in two phases, namely (i) the Phase 1 Works, being the construction of 10 storeys and one-level of the basement of Tower A and a two-level basement of Tower B on the Land; and (ii) the Phase 2 Works, being the construction of 10 storeys of Tower B (which includes superstructure construction of Tower B only) on the Land.

Contract Sum

HK$3,605,000,000 (which comprises the contract sum for the Phase 1 Works of HK$2,030,000,000 and the contract sum for the Phase 2 Works of HK$1,575,000,000), subject to adjustments in accordance with the terms of the Building Contract in relation to any changes or additions to the scope of the Works such as variations to the design, quality or quantity of the Works, alteration of the kind or standard of materials or goods to be used for the Works, rectifications of the Works or any additional costs and expenses in relation to the foregoing. Such adjustments will be made based on instructions provided by the independent architect after it has obtained Easy Vision’s agreement to the same, and the amount involved will be ascertained by the independent quantity surveyor.

— 24 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Subject to fulfillment of the condition precedent of the Building Contract, the Phase 1 Works are tentatively expected to commence in around March 2021, while the Phase 2 Works will commence at a later date which shall be determined by Easy Vision. Easy Vision may terminate the engagement of the Main Contractor for the Phase 2 Works on or before 31 January 2024, upon which the Contract Sum shall accordingly be reduced by HK$1,575,000,000.

As advised by the independent quantity surveyor, it is the usual practice that approximately 5% to 10% of the contract sum is applied as contingency for the construction projects of the private sector. The independent quantity surveyor has further advised that it is reasonable to adopt a contingency of 10% of the Contract Sum in this case. As such, it is estimated that the final Contract Sum will not exceed 110% of the original Contract Sum (i.e. not exceeding approximately HK$3,965,500,000).

Easy Vision may extend the defects liability period for the Works from 12 months to 24 months by payment to the Main Contractor of an amount of HK$3,500,000 for the Phase 1 Works and HK$2,600,000 for the Phase 2 Works (the “ Defects Liability Period Extension Price ”).

It is therefore estimated that the aggregate consideration payable under the Building Contract will not exceed HK$3,971,600,000, being the sum of (i) the Contract Sum of HK$3,605,000,000 plus 10% contingency; and (ii) the aggregate Defects Liability Period Extension Price of HK$6,100,000.

The Contract Sum and the Defects Liability Period Extension Price were determined after arm’s length negotiations with the Main Contractor and are on normal commercial terms.

The Contract Sum (subject to adjustments) and the Defects Liability Period Extension Price will be paid in cash and funded by the Group’s internal resources and/or bank financing.

— 25 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Payment terms

Easy Vision will make progress payments to the Main Contractor based on estimated value of the Works properly executed and of the materials and goods delivered for use in the Works in accordance with the architect certificates with the relevant amounts stated (subject to the right on the part of Easy Vision to retain a certain sum therefrom which will not in general exceed 10% of each progress payment and the maximum aggregate amount of such retention shall not in general exceed 5% of the contract sum for the Phase 1 Works and of the contract sum for the Phase 2 Works respectively) to be issued monthly by the independent architect for the Project during the course of the Project. Upon the Main Contractor’s presentation of the architect certificates to Easy Vision, Easy Vision will verify and settle the relevant amounts within 45 days thereafter. One moiety of the total amounts retained as aforementioned shall be paid to the Main Contractor within 45 days after the Main Contractor’s presentation to Easy Vision of the substantial completion certificate issued by the architect, while the remaining retention amount shall be paid to the Main Contractor within 45 days after the expiration of the defects liability period, or the issue of the defects rectification certificate, or the approval has been given by the architect for all specified guarantees and warranties required to be submitted by the Main Contractor or the nominated subcontractors or suppliers, whichever is the later.

  • Condition precedent The Building Contract and the transactions contemplated thereunder being approved by the Independent Shareholders at the EGM.

  • Expected date of Subject to fulfillment of the condition precedent of the commencement and Building Contract, (i) the Phase 1 Works are tentatively completion of the expected to commence in around March 2021 and to Works be completed within 838 days from and including the commencement date; and (ii) the Phase 2 Works will commence on a date to be determined by Easy Vision, which is tentatively expected to be in around June 2024, and are expected to be completed within 792 days from and including the commencement date.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

4. Assessment of the terms of the Building Contract

To ensure the suitability of the selected contractor for the Project and a fair and just selection process, the Group, according to its established tendering process, has set up a project consultant team which comprised mainly independent experts in the relevant areas, including but not limited to, architectural, quantitative surveying, structural engineering and building services engineering to assess the service proposals tendered. Members of the project consultant team possessed relevant industry experience and capability in their respective area of expertise. After reviewing all the service proposals submitted by the candidates, the Project Manager (as defined below) has provided a recommendation of contractor for the Project and the Company has accepted such recommendation.

The tendering process of the Building Contract employed by the Group started with the invitation to qualified contractors to submit service proposals by way of closed tendering. The technical feasibility of the service proposals submitted were then scrutinised by the experts in the project consultant team. The project consultant team also considered relevant factors including but not limited to, price, experience and expertise of contractors, quality of work and schedule of completion offered by the service providers. As a general principle, the proposal which (i) was technically feasible for the Project; and (ii) offered the most favourable terms for the Project, would be selected.

As every qualified candidate has to submit its proposal by way of closed tendering and will be scrutinised by the project consultant team comprising mainly independent experts, construction contracts of the Group therefore are not guaranteed to be awarded to any particular contractor, including the SHKP Group, unless the service proposal submitted fulfills the abovementioned principle.

The tendering process of and evaluation of service proposals submitted for the Project in accordance with the above established practice of the Group are set out below in detail.

(a) Tendering process

In selecting an appropriate main contractor in overseeing the construction of the Project, the Company has formed, in accordance with the procurement process generally employed by the Group, a consultant team (the “ Project Consultant Team ”) to select and invite potential contractors for submitting service proposals.

— 27 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Project Consultant Team comprised professional experts including:

  • a. Sun Hung Kai Real Estate Agency Limited, the project manager of the Project (the “ Project Manager ”);

  • b. an independent architect (the “ Architect ”);

  • c. an independent quantity surveyor (the “ Quantity Surveyor ”);

  • d. an independent structural engineer (the “ Structural Engineer ”); and

  • e. an independent building services engineer (the “ Building Services Engineer ”).

As advised by the Project Manager, it is the usual practice that a project consultant team is formed with the above-mentioned professional experts for construction projects similar to the Project.

Among the experts of the Project Consultant Team, the Quantity Surveyor was responsible for preparing the Tender Document (as defined below) and assessing the cost and related contractual issues of the Project. Throughout the tendering process, the Architect was mainly responsible for reviewing service proposals submitted by contractors and consolidating all the assessments from the Project Consultant Team. The Architect has been appointed as the lead consultant of the Project Consultant Team. We understand that both the Quantity Surveyor and the Architect have experience in the Group’s data centre projects such as the data centres at MEGA Plus in Tseung Kwan O and Ma Kok Street in Tsuen Wan.

In selecting each of the professional experts of the Project Consultant Team, the Project Manager would shortlist candidates for each role and their selection would be based on the potential candidates’ experience in data centre projects of similar size in Hong Kong, their professional qualifications, previous working experience and their reputation. The Project Manager would then invite the candidates for each of the roles to submit their fee quotations. The Project Manager would assess the fee quotations (i) against each other and/or (ii) against market rates of projects of similar nature, in order to ensure competitiveness of fee quotations received. The candidate who offered the most competitive price would be recommended to be awarded the respective service contract in the Project Consultant Team. Appointment of professional experts shall then be put forward by the Project Manager to the

— 28 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Company for consideration and approval. We have obtained and reviewed the recommendation letters for the appointments of each of the professional experts issued by the Project Manager and the basis for their recommendations, brochures and credentials submitted by each of the Architect, the Quantity Surveyor, the Structural Engineer and the Building Services Engineer. We have reviewed the Company’s procurement policy and procedure and have also discussed with the Company and based on our review and discussion, we noted that the members of the Project Consultant Team were procured in accordance with the Company’s procurement policy and procedure. We also performed research on the background of the Architect, the Quantity Surveyor, the Structural Engineer and the Building Services Engineer to cross-check our understanding based on the information in the credentials provided by them.

For the selection of the role of main contractor of the Project, the Management, based on their industrial and market knowledge, has taken into consideration main contractors involved in sizeable data centre projects in Hong Kong such as the Group’s MEGA Plus in Tseung Kwan O and Ma Kok Street in Tsuen Wan. Main contractors involved in data centre projects with similar size in the region with presence in Hong Kong have also been considered. In addition, factors like reputation, job reference (including past track record) and size of respective contractors are also taken into account. Based on the above criteria, the Management selected four potential candidates for the role of main contractor of the Project. The Project Manager is of the view that the number of candidates invited for the role of main contractor is reasonable based on its industrial experience.

A detailed tender document (the “ Tender Document ”) with specifications and drawings of the Project was then sent to each of the selected candidates.

Two of the four selected candidates, comprising the Main Contractor and another company principally engaged in the provision of construction services in Hong Kong, accepted the invitation and submitted their service proposals for the Project. The other two declined the invitation by way of formal letters with reasons of other jobs commitment.

(b) Evaluation of service proposals

After receiving service proposals from the two candidates, both of which were able to meet the completion timeline requirement of the Project, the Project Consultant Team reviewed the service proposals mainly from two perspectives, namely, technical assessment and cost evaluation.

— 29 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Technical assessment was carried out by the Architect, the Structural Engineer and the Building Services Engineer, while evaluation of cost and related contractual issues was carried out by the Quantity Surveyor. The Project Manager relied on the assessments performed by the Architect, the Quantity Surveyor, the Structural Engineer and the Building Services Engineer, and hence we reviewed the terms of the engagement of each of the Architect, the Quantity Surveyor, the Structural Engineer and the Building Services Engineer.

We also conducted interviews with the Project Manager, the Architect and the Quantity Surveyor as regards the evaluations, and whether they are independent of the Group and the SHKP Group. We are advised that the Project Consultant Team have performed assessments based on requirements as set out in the Tender Document. We further understand that each of the members of the Project Consultant Team (except for the Project Manager) is independent from the Company and the SHKP Group.

Based on the above evaluations, each of the Architect, the Quantity Surveyor, the Structural Engineer and the Building Services Engineer has issued tender reports as to whether the candidates passed the assessments for further consideration together with summary of findings during the evaluation process.

(i) Technical assessment

Technical assessment involved issuing of tender queries and conducting technical interviews with candidates. The assessment was carried out separately from the cost evaluation and based solely on technical requirements under the Tender Document regardless of monetary considerations (which was evaluated by the Quantity Surveyor as set out below). During the technical interview, each of the candidates was required to present its proposed construction method and project programme, and to respond to tender queries. We have obtained and reviewed the tendering documents from the candidates, tender queries issued by the Project Consultant Team and replies from the candidates and noted that after reviewing the technical submissions and the replies to the tender queries, the Project Consultant Team considered the technical submission from the candidates were generally in order in the respective technical point of view, save for the Potential Risk (as defined below).

— 30 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Architect, the Structural Engineer and the Building Services Engineer have issued tender reports on their assessments where both submitted service proposals were generally in order and could be considered acceptable, save and except for a highlight in both the Architect’s report and the Structural Engineer’s report on the time allowed for processing of the occupation permit as assumed under the tender proposal of the other candidate being considered by the Architect and the Structural Engineer not adequate nor realistic (the “ Potential Risk ”). We have discussed with the Architect in our interview and understood that the Potential Risk may lead to an overall delay and possible increase of overall costs of the Project, which may accordingly delay the commencement of operation of such data centre and in turn adversely affect the Company’s revenue. Nevertheless, save and except for the Potential Risk, it was stated in the tender reports of the Architect, the Structural Engineer and the Building Services Engineer that the service proposals submitted by both candidates, in their view, were generally in order and complying.

Having considered the tender reports from the Architect, the Structural Engineer and the Building Services Engineer, the Project Manager was of the view that both submitted tenders complied with the technical assessments and were recommended for further consideration of the Building Contract tender award.

(ii) Cost evaluation

In respect of cost and contractual issues, the Quantity Surveyor was responsible for the assessment. In particular, the reasonableness of the costs to be incurred based on the technically acceptable service proposals of the two candidates were examined in detail. After evaluation of the respective costs proposed by the candidates as outlined in the bill of quantities of the Tender Document for each of the Phase 1 Works and the Phase 2 Works, tender queries were issued to the candidates for their clarifications on the qualified items. The qualifications arising from the candidates were also assessed by the Quantity Surveyor separately from the Architect for their related cost implications, for example, change of design resulting in change of material to be used. The Quantity Surveyor also ascertained the reasonableness of individual rates listed out in the bills of quantities for each of the Phase 1 Works and the Phase 2 Works with reference to its database.

— 31 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We have performed an interview with the Quantity Surveyor and the Quantity Surveyor was of the view that both tenders submitted by the candidates were contractually in order for acceptance. We have obtained the tender report from the Quantity Surveyor and noted that the proposed tender sum and the Defects Liability Period Extension Price of the Main Contractor for each of the Phase 1 Works and the Phase 2 Works was lower than that of the other candidate.

Having considered: (i) the Potential Risk, although the tenders from both the Main Contractor and the other candidate were technically acceptable as set out in the tendering reports prepared by the Architect, the Quantity Surveyor, the Structural Engineer and the Building Services Engineer; and (ii) the tender sum and the Defects Liability Period Extension Price for each of the Phase 1 Works and the Phase 2 Works submitted by the Main Contractor were lower than those of the other candidate, the Project Manager issued a tender recommendation to award the Project to the Main Contractor.

(iii) Other key terms of the Building Contract

As disclosed in the letter from the Board of the Circular, a contingency of not exceeding 10% has been provided based on the Contract Sum. As per our discussion with the Quantity Surveyor, we understand that the aforesaid level of contingency is in line with the market norm for construction projects in private sector. The buffer amount is mainly to cater for any variation (as instructed by the Architect) as to the design, quality or quantity of the Works, alteration of the kind or standard of materials or goods to be used for the Works, rectifications of the Works or any additional costs and expenses in relation to the foregoing in accordance with the Building Contract. In addition, any such adjustments to the Contract Sum will be made based on instructions provided by the Architect after it has obtained Easy Vision’s agreement to the same, and the amount involved will be ascertained by the Quantity Surveyor. On this basis, we consider the contingency of 10% is fair and reasonable.

— 32 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The progress payments upon presentation of the Architect’s certificates and retention amount arrangements as discussed under the heading “Payment terms” in section headed “3. Principal terms of the Building Contract” above are also considered fair and reasonable as such arrangements, being normal market practice according to the Quantity Surveyor, can ensure the payments to the Main Contractor being fairly determined and safeguard the interests of Easy Vision.

Given that the tendering process was open to qualified third party contractors and was carried out under significant involvement of independent professional experts (in particular, the Architect and the Quantity Surveyor, who led the evaluation of service proposals and issued tender reports on their assessments) in assessing the technical and cost aspects of the service proposals, and that the service proposal submitted by the Main Contractor offered a more competitive contract sum, we are of the view that the terms of the Building Contract, including the Contract Sum, are on normal commercial terms.

OPINION AND RECOMMENDATION

Having taken into account the above principal factors and reasons, we consider that the entering into of the Building Contract, although not in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. We are also of the view that the Building Contract is on normal commercial terms, and the terms of the Building Contract are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

We therefore advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend, and we ourselves recommend, the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Building Contract.

Yours faithfully, for and on behalf of SOMERLEY CAPITAL LIMITED Lyan Tam Director

Ms. Lyan Tam is a licensed person registered with the Securities and Futures Commission and as a responsible officer of Somerley to carry out Type 6 (advising on corporate finance) regulated activities under the SFO and has over 17 years of experience in corporate finance industry.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Another greenfield data centre project involving the construction a new high-tier data centre with high power capacity and outstanding architecture resilience on the land located at Ma Kok Street, Tsuen Wan, New Territories, Hong Kong and registered in the Land Registry as Tsuen Wan Town Lot No. 428 is targeted to be completed by phases starting in 2022. Upon completion, it will enhance and expand the Group’s high-tier data centre capacity in strategic sites by approximately 201,700 square feet of gross floor area.

As for the existing data centres, the increase of power capacity in MEGA-i by as much as 40% is on track to be completed before the end of 2020, which will be a big boost to the Group’s connectivity business growth in coming years. In addition, following the completion of the acquisition of MEGA Two in November 2019, the Group invested further in revitalising multiple floors at MEGA Two with additional power to serve the high power-density needs among customers.

Looking ahead, the future of the Group remains positive. Digital economies and hence connectivity needs will continue to grow. Data traffic across and along the Pacific is expected to grow significantly, and Hong Kong will continue to be one of the key hubs for this connectivity, given its geographical location, strong subsea cable connections and well-established connections in the region. Hong Kong’s long history of free trade practice and trusted data protection scheme will continue to maintain its global recognition as a distinctive location for data storage and transmission.

4. WORKING CAPITAL

The Directors are of the opinion that, taking into account the Building Contract and the present financial resources available to the Group including the internally generated funds, available banking facilities and loan facility from the SHKP Group, the Group has sufficient working capital to satisfy its present requirements for at least the next 12 months following the date of this circular in the absence of unforeseen circumstances.
